Description
The Radius M is L.R. Baggs’ answer to players who want their mandolin to sound like itself, not like a piezo bolted on for convenience. It’s a passive under-saddle-style pickup built specifically for mandolin, engineered to reproduce the air and dynamics of a good microphone while sidestepping the feedback and positioning hassles that come with actually miking the instrument on stage.
- Passive pickup, installs in minutes with no permanent modifications required
- Voicing is tuned to emulate a mic’d tone rather than a typical piezo quack
- Flexible mounting: goes on the outside or tucks inside the mandolin’s body
- This version ships with an external jack mount for players who want the output jack accessible on the exterior of the instrument
- Comes with mounting putty, clear adhesive pads, and VHB adhesive pads for a secure, low-fuss fit
- Self-stick wire clips are included to keep cabling tidy if you go with internal installation
Because it’s passive, there’s no battery to babysit and no preamp electronics to route inside a small, resonant mandolin body — just a clean, direct signal path. Whether you’re chasing acoustic amplification for a bluegrass stage rig or just want a reliable way to plug in without carving up your instrument, the Radius M gives you a fast, reversible install and a tone that stays true to the mandolin’s natural voice.
